I'm fabbin up a link suspension for the back end of my 78 K5. I'm going to run coil overs up front but I'd like to run some production vehicles coils in the back for space saving reasons. My initial assumption was to run with Bronco front springs but I'm worried about them being to stiff for the light K5 rear end and possible lack of flex. I'm sure someone has gone down this road so spam me with ideas. I'm looking for soft and flexy!
Or...
Anyone have links to a custom coil shops near SoCal? Bring it on!
Ford Aerostar minivan coils.

I was worried they might be too soft to handle the 2600lb rear end of the blazer... I had seen a write up of a jeep with that setup and it definately flexed well. Do you know of anyone running them?
